The Apprentice: MafiaScum - Someone Hired!

[Eteocles]

+, why were you late in submitting your slogan? Who do you think were the best and worst advertisers on your team?

Mr. Trump, I wanted to make sure we had the best slogan possible. The tiebreaker was important, but not as important as making sure we had a professional, catchy slogan that would generate a lot of votes. I think most people agreed we had the better slogan. At the end of the day, most of our votes came from

s

P

a

Ms, but having the better slogan was key in winning people over in this task.

I would say that Dahill1, JDodge, and Myself were the strongest in this challenge. We were probably responsible for securing a majority of the votes. Dahill1 also came up with the slogan we chose. Major credit to him for that.

Max also did his best, so kudos to him. Pacman showed up pretty late because of internet problems, but he still gave it a shot.

For the rest... I'd have liked it if Ani spent more time rallying votes and less time arguing about the task. And for all I know, ZazieR and Drench were MIA, so I can't say anything good about their performance unfortunately.

Mr. Trump, as soon as I saw this challenge, you know what I said? I said "fuck this". I knew these jackasses were going to fuck shit up so I just went out for some fucking drinks and hot bitches. I got pissed drunk, but then some fucking bitch's pussy gave me a fucking allergic reaction and my eyes got fucked up. No one tried to get me up or organize this fucking task on their own, and in fact some of these retards actually submitted a score LESS THAN the original fucking $20 you start out with. And at one point I asked my team for Acacia chardonnay and they gave me A CASE of chardonnay. What the fuck do they think I am, some kind of fucking alcoholic or something?

Given my performance on the last two tasks and the utter lack of competence of the other members of my team, I think you should give me another round to prove myself. If not.... fuck this shit.

Another vodka and cranberry please, chef. WOO! VEGAS STYLE!!

K, I'm bringing back animorph for being retarded, drench for being incompetent/insubordinate, and dahill who volunteered to back me up.

[Eteocles]

+, why should I not fire you after your clusterfuck on this task?

I did not preform to my best ability on this task. If you look at the big picture, though, do you really want animorph or drench as your apprentice? Neither have shown any kind of teamwork ability or had a major contribution to the group.

I'd also like to bring up the last challenge. I made several attempts to contact Drench, all of which he ignored. I found out that he was actually playing an immunity challenge in another game. This shows that not only did Drench ignore orders from his leader, but that he is not dedicated to this competition. He's not that bright either since I found out it was actually a fake challenge set up by yourself to distract him...

[Eteocles]

Disproven? Because you say so?

I tried to contact you at least 3 times.

(7:21:18 AM) AddyMuyo: drenchy
(7:23:09 AM) AddyMuyo: drench, i know you're there
(7:23:19 AM) AddyMuyo: you're competing in a fake immunity challenge
(7:27:27 AM) AddyMuyo: I really wish you wouldn't play hard to get, drenchy poo

(7:46:05 AM) AddyMuyo: (7:10:16 AM) jathan84: i got drench
(7:10:21 AM) jathan84: to do a nonexistant immunity challenge
(7:10:22 AM) jathan84: lolza

(The period where you were doing the fake challenge: 5-8AM)

So while you were goofing off, and I was managing the task, Jath kept me updated on your status and I checked back a few times to see that you were indeed ignoring me and continuing with the fake challenge.

And thank you, but I already have that last convo in it's entirety:

(3:05:51 AM) jathan84: i was j/k i dont acutally know what the challenge is
(3:05:54 AM) jathan84: i just like posting random stuff in thread
(3:06:02 AM) Drench394: Curse you.
(3:06:05 AM) Drench394: lol
(3:06:19 AM) Drench394: Now the mystery loses an answer...this makes me annoyed.
(3:32:11 AM) Drench394: groan
(3:33:40 AM) jathan84: ?
(3:33:50 AM) Drench394: nothing
(3:38:51 AM) Drench394: you sounded convincing in scumchat when you were talking about the challenge
(3:00:43 AM) jathan84: and then i didnt respond on purpose
(3:00:45 AM) jathan84: so he went back to it
(3:00:46 AM) jathan84: lolza

, the count looks like to me like one count of your contributing more than Drench (last task) and one count of you doing nothing as Project Manager (contributing less than Drench). What do you have to respond?

In the first challenge, I came up with Ideas for names and logos, and helped create the final product we submitted. Drench only posted once with a contradictory criticism of our logo and this (despite all of our comments on how flash was a ridiculous medium for this challenge and how horrible the other team's would turn out.):

I can see flash is being considered here. I'll work on a banner also, so we have some choice.

On the second challenge, I contributed more than drench has this entire game, and on this third challenge we both failed to submit. So, I do not agree that we are even in contributions.

The bottom line, Mr. Trump, is that I have loads more potential than Drench. This one challenge does not reflect my future in this game. I promise I will not disappoint you again. If you keep me, I honestly think I have a very good chance of making it far in this competition. Whereas, if you keep Drench, I don't seem him making it past the next board room.

Is someone going to send me a quicktopic link or contact me in any way?

[Eteocles]

Woo! Way to go Virgo!

[Eteocles]

...

[Eteocles]

too early

[Eteocles]

I know you still love us max, but you can take the Virgo spiel out of you signature now.

[Eteocles]

Virgo's Height is now 6 feet.

[Eteocles]

Virgo's tower is now at [24] feet.

[Eteocles]

:c (

[Eteocles]

[Eteocles]

Seriously? Yet another quitter?

Lame.

[Eteocles]

^ Seconded

[Eteocles]

For the record, I would have actually contributed to this task (1)- had I not been under the impression that Panzer was quitting or (2)- someone actually thought to let me in on things. This is the first time I am seeing our presentation, and no offense to Prozac, but I'm surprised we won, too. =p

[Eteocles]

The quicktopic was there and I posted the name as soon as I got it. I posted the correct name a few hours later.

huh?
can you PM me the link?

Eh.. this is the one that I made and gave to the PM to distribute.

I was not informed of any new QTs, and I assumed this challenge was dead, as well. =\

[Eteocles]

[Eteocles]

+, is there any dead weight on your team?

It's hard, because I love both of these people, but I don't think PEG or Panzer have been pulling their weight, and I don't think they would disagree with that. I think they both regret not helping out as much, and wish they could have given more to the team.So, if I were you, it would be a hard decision for me for who to fire.

PEG gave no leadership and was ultimately the reason we lost this challenge; we had 12/13 pictures found, if we had been given a little direction it would have been an easy landslide.

On the other hand, Panzer quit and came back, and he's no Joan Rivers. He didn't do anything on this task, and honestly he's just been dragging along in this competition for a while now.

That being said though, I really think this is the best team I've been on so far in this game. We all get along really well, and they are all very bright and gumptious. Hopefully this elimination will make us stronger, rather than weaker.

Who is the star of your team?

Gurgi. =)

[Eteocles]

No thanks. I'm happy with my team like I said.

Congrats on the halfway mark, guys.

[Eteocles]

Brandeeeee

[Eteocles]

It's hard for me to pick, but I would have to go with Iamausername. Simply, everyone who has been here from the start has already formed bonds and had experiences that a new contestant just can't replicate. Iam should have worked much harder if he wanted to have a serious shot at winning.

[Eteocles]

+, was Porochaz a good Project Manager? Who would be better to work with: Porochaz or JDodge?

Poro was alright, I suppose. He did do the whole event on his own, which shows dedication to the task. PM isn't the best way to contact me though, so he should have IMed me about the challenge. Also, I really think he should have listened to our suggestions, as late as they came. There is no event organizer in the world who would just take the litost theme and run with it. It would be foolish for them to not tell their client that their theme absolutely sucks, as it could damage both of their public-images.

That being said though, I think both Poro and Jdodge have been some of the best teammates though, and I don't think anyone on this team should be fired. If I did have to choose to work with one of them though, I'd probably pick Jdodge since we're in the same time zone and in more frequent contact with each other.

Why do I always get the post whoring tasks?

='(

[Eteocles]

Libel!

[Eteocles]

I think the time limit is up. Sorry

[Eteocles]

My schedule is unpredictable, but I'll try to meet my partner at their best time.

[Eteocles]

Woo good luck, everyone. =)
